Yes Columba, that nasty pong has drifted across the channel. Apparently, the Police & Fire Brigades in Sussex, Kent & Surrey have been getting calls from concerned people.

I think it was last year, that a lot of people on the beaches at Seaford & along the coast to Eastbourne, were turning up at A&E with stinging, watering eyes & sore throats. There were pictures on the internet taken from Beachy Head of a horrible yellow smog rolling across the sea from France. There was concern that there had been a leak at the Nuclear Power Station near Dieppe. To be honest, I don't think the authorities ever got to the bottom of the cause, but it could be clearly seen rolling into England from across the channel.

On a happier note, I've just got back from a lovely 15 mile run along the South Downs Way. Time for an "Old man's half hour" on the settee me thinks.

If there's a problem at the nuclear power station, it won't be yellow, smelly smog. I'm not sure if that is a comfort or not.

Afternoon all. Just arrived home from a fantastic long weekend in the New Forest (so good we stayed an extra day). We were so lucky with the weather and although no running took place for me, I did manage a couple of bike rides and loads of glorious walks.

All unpacked, washing on and dog walk time.

Jono.
12barDavid - possibly and I say possibly some sort of clean out by a passing merchant vessel?

bit of a lie in tomorrow as I've got a bit to do in work during the evening - I will run 3 miles which will complete my 51 miles for the month :-) plan another bike ride on Saturday and we'll see how we go for sunday (I would like to get another very modest run in.

Then its May and more of the same

We were in the NF too, Moo! ;)

Going for a run this evening. I have a little plan to take me up to the Two Castles 10K in June. I probably won't get all of the runs on the plan done but 80% would be good!

Just back from a long weekend in a village near Derby staying with son number two. Had me working in his garden to sort a few things out and then we did Markeaton Park parkrun with son number one. They finished within one second of each other with the old man a mere 40 secs behind.
Their older sister had her birthday yesterday so at least there was some light relief....

Long day walking around a good zoo seems to have cured the cold, mostly.

My favourite animals were the leafcutter ants. So cool!
